Personal Budgets
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the average waiting time for money management arrangements for personal care budgets in social care to be implemented by each local authority; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
The Department has not made an estimate of the average waiting time for money management arrangements for personal budgets implemented by each local authority.
The Care Act 2014 statutory guidance provides that everyone who is eligible for care and support will receive a personal budget as part of their care plan. The process of allocating the personal budget should be completed in a timely manner, proportionate to the needs to be met. At all times the person should be informed where they are in the care planning process, what will happen next and the likely timeframes.
